About choosing Lopez, Julie Jordan, People’s chief correspondent for special issues said, "We wanted to re-create the sexiest poses in history, so we needed a bachelor who was in really good shape. And I’ve got to say: We made the perfect choice."

The most provocative pose is the re-creation of Burt Reynolds’ infamous bearskin-rug pose for Playgirl magazine. Lopez joked about this pose, "The thing with Burt is, he’s a lot hairier than I am. So he’s kind of one with the bear. You don’t know where the bear ends and Burt starts."
